Buhl) Newsgroups: comp.windows.ms Subject: Line wrap mystery solved Summary: Unix tset turns it on. Modify termcap and terminfo. Message-ID: Date: 12 Sep 90 00:00:49 GMT Sender: news@seri.gov (news) Distribution: na Organization: Solar Energy Research Institute Lines: 18 A while back, I posted that I was having problems with Terminal turning on Line Wrap all by itself. I have now found out why. Others said they had experienced the same problem, so I'm posting a follow-up. I noticed that typing "tset" turned it on every time. I looked at the termcap entry for vt100 and it has the string "\E[?7h" in it. That turns on Line Wrap. I created a new termcap entry named vt100nw and tset no longer turns on Line Wrap. I also had to modify the terminfo file too as nn uses the terminfo file instead of termcap. And all the times I swore it was a bug. I don't remember this happening when using Crosstalk for Windows, so I assumed it was Microsoft's fault. Sorry MS. Maybe I should look at CfW more closely... -- Marshall L.
